Source localization using rational approximation on plane sections

چکیده
In functional neuroimaging, a crucial problem is to localize active sources within the brain non-invasively, from the knowledge of the electromagnetic measurements outside the head. Identi cation of point sources from boundary measurements is an ill-posed inverse problem. In the case of electroencephalography (EEG), measurements are only available at electrode positions, the number of sources is not known in advance, and the medium within the head is inhomogeneous. This paper presents a new method for EEG source localization, based on rational approximation techniques in the complex plane. The method is used in the context of a nested sphere head model, in combination with a cortical mapping procedure. Results on simulated data prove the applicability of the method in the context of realistic measurements con gurations.

L'identi cation de sources ponctuelles depuis des mesures frontière constitue un problème inverse mal posé. Concernant l'électroencéphalographie (EEG), les mesures sont disponibles aux positions des électrodes, le nombre de sources n'est pas connu à l'avance, et le milieu conducteur à l'intérieur de la tête est inhomogène. Ce travail présente une nouvelle méthode de localisation de sources en EEG, basée sur des techniques d'approximation rationnelle dans le plan complexe. Cette méthode est développée pour un modèle sphérique de tête, à plusieurs couches de conductivité constante (scalp, crâne, cerveau), en combinaison avec une procédure de transmission des données, depuis le scalp jusqu'à la surface du cerveau. Des résultats numériques depuis des données simulées dans des con gurations réalistes démontrent l'applicabilité de la méthode.

A moving sound source localization method based on TDOA
The Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) method has been widely used for sound source localization. However, because of the Doppler-effect, the TDOA method cannot be directly used for locating moving sound sources. This paper develops a moving sound source localization method based on TDOA, combining with Doppler-effect elimination and source plane scanning. This method is suitable for locating so...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PLANE STRUCTURES USING BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD AND ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS
This paper presents the topology optimization of plane structures using a binary level set (BLS) approach and isogeometric analysis (IGA). In the standard level set method, the domain boundary is descripted as an isocountour of a scalar function of a higher dimensionality. The evolution of this boundary is governed by Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the BLS method, the interfaces of subdomai...
متن کاملA method to obtain the best uniform polynomial approximation for the family of rational function
In this article, by using Chebyshev’s polynomials and Chebyshev’s expansion, we obtain the best uniform polynomial approximation out of P2n to a class of rational functions of the form (ax2+c)-1 on any non symmetric interval [d,e]. Using the obtained approximation, we provide the best uniform polynomial approximation to a class of rational functions of the form (ax2+bx+c)-1 for both cases b2-4a...
متن کاملEvaluating the Improvement of Partial Discharge Localization Accuracy Using Frequency Response Assurance Criterion
Partial Discharge (PD) is the most important source of insulation degradation in power transformers. In order to prevent catastrophic failures in transformers, PDs need to be located as soon as possible so that maintenance measures can be taken in time. Due to the structural complexity of windings, locating the PD source inside a transformer winding is not a simple task. In this paper, the effi...

Many metal forming problems have been solved using the slip line field method but all of them have either been two-dimensional (plane strain or plain stress) or axisymmetric problems. In this paper a procedure has been proposed by which the slip line field solution to three dimensional problems of metal forming becomes possible. For this purpose the extrusion of shaped sections has been taken a...
